My boyfriend and I have been travelling across SEA for just over a month and Phil’s place was by far the cleanest BnB that we had stayed in during our travels (and we have stayed in many). The room is well decorated and the bed is not only huge, but incredibly comfortable as well. The AC, wifi, and hot water all worked seamlessly, and the hospitality that we received from Phil’s aunt and the house keeper were unparalleled. Despite arriving at 2am, we were still greeted at the door and they even helped us use Grab in order to get a ride to the train station when we left. The location is close to any temples that one may be interested in seeing, while it is also within walking distance of Khao San Road. Upon arrival, some travellers may struggle to find the apartment, so I would recommend screenshotting the directions that Phil has emailed you.
They’re extremely thorough, and the pictures will guide you to the front door. Finally, make sure you grab breakfast at Old Town Cafe just around the corner - the coffee is incredible, as are the baguettes.
